Overview

Instructor Resources: PowerPoints

 

Light on complex theoretical language, this relevant, accessible text offers a hands-on approach to studying human resources in various healthcare systems such as hospitals, integrated healthcare systems, managed care settings, private practices, and public health clinics. The chapters cover a broad spectrum of subjects, including:

 

  • human resource design (e.g., the role of the human resource system in support of organizational functions)
  • human resource practice (e.g., legal and organizational human resource issues, including labor law and related issues including discrimination, harassment, wage and hour agreements, and ADA compliance; hiring, termination, performance evaluation, and staff training)
  • human resources management (e.g., workforce planning and maintenance, staff support and education, compensation management, role in collective bargaining, budgetary involvements, and organizational continuous improvement initiatives)

The book can be used as a stand-alone textbook in undergraduate or graduate level courses on human resources. With its practice-oriented approach, it is also a valuable resource for current health care organizations.
